To the Dealer
Read manual instructions and safety rules. Make sure all items on the Dealer’s Pre-Delivery and Delivery Check Lists are completed
before releasing equipment to the owner.
The dealer must complete the Warranty Registration found on the Dealer Portal website located at dealer.jm-inc.com and return it to J&M
Mfg. Co., Inc. at the address indicated on the form. Warranty claims will be denied if the Warranty Registration has not been submitted.
EXPRESS WARRANTY:
J&M Mfg. Co., Inc. warrants against defects in construction or materials for a period of ONE year. We reserve the right to inspect and
decide whether material or construction was faulty or whether abuse or accident voids our guarantee.
Warranty service must be performed by a dealer or service center authorized by J&M Mfg. Co., Inc. to sell and/or service the type of
product involved, which will use only new or remanufactured parts or components furnished by J&M Mfg. Co., Inc. Warranty service will
be performed without charge to the purchaser for parts or labor based on the Warranty Labor Times schedule. Under no circumstance
will allowable labor times extend beyond the maximum hours indicated in the Warranty Labor Times schedule for each warranty
procedure. The purchaser will be responsible, however, for any service call and/or transportation of the product to and from the dealer
or service center’s place of business, for any premium charged for overtime labor requested by the purchaser, and for any service and/or
maintenance not directly related to any defect covered under the warranty. Costs associated with equipment rental, product down time,
or product disposal are not warrantable and will not be accepted under any circumstance.
Each Warranty term begins on the date of product delivery to the purchaser. Under no circumstance will warranty be approved unless (i)
the product warranty registration card has been properly completed and submitted to the equipment manufacturer, and (ii) a warranty
authorization number has been issued by the equipment manufacturer. This Warranty is eective only if the warranty registration card is
returned within 30 days of purchase.
This Warranty does not cover a component which fails, malfunctions or is damaged as a result of (i) improper modication or repair, (ii)
accident, abuse or improper use, (iii) improper or insucient maintenance, or (iv) normal wear or tear. This Warranty does not cover
products that are previously owned and extends solely to the original purchaser of the product. Should the original purchaser sell or
otherwise transfer this product to a third party, this Warranty does not transfer to the third party purchaser in any way. J&M Mfg. Co.,
Inc. makes no Warranty, express or implied, with respect to tires or other parts or accessories not manufactured by J&M Mfg. Co., Inc.
Warranties for these items, if any, are provided separately by their respective manufacturers.
THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
In no event shall J&M Mfg. Co., Inc. be liable for special, direct, incidental or consequential damages of any kind. The exclusive remedy
under this Warranty shall be repair or replacement of the defective component at J&M Mfg. Co., Inc’s. option. This is the entire agreement
between J&M Mfg. Co., Inc. and the Owner about warranty and no J&M Mfg. Co., Inc. employee or dealer is authorized to make any
additional warranty on behalf of J&M Mfg. Co., Inc.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make product design and material changes at any time without notice. They shall not incur any
obligation or liability to incorporate such changes and improvements in products previously sold to any customer, nor shall they be
obligated or liable for the replacement of previously sold products with products or parts incorporating such changes.
